Caswells Strings

Caswells Strings We are one of Britain’s leading suppliers of violins, violas and cellos – stocking all the strings, cases, bows and accessories. On the retirement of Mr.

Caswell’s Strings is one of Britain’s oldest mailorder companies specialising in Instruments and accessories for the Violin family. With roots extending back over 50 years ago in the South West of England and in Bristol, the Caswell’s shop became a household brand under the name Hamilton Caswell’s; known throughout the world for its extensive range of fine instruments and for the largest collectio

n of bows in Europe. Throughout all those years a unique catalogue was sent out every year to players countrywide, and to every school in the land. Hamilton and subsequent to his famous ‘sale of the century’ the name Caswell’s was adopted to carry the business forward as Britain’s largest supplier of accessories for the violin family, while the catalogue continued to grow, with a mailing list of tens of thousands of both professional and amateur players, teachers and schools.

There are four different levels relating to the quality of the instrument you can rent, and we have stock available in most sizes. This is perfect if you're a young beginner, and you want to wait until you can play a full size instrument before you invest in a higher quality instrument.

The minimum rental period is three months. Please see our website for full T&Cs.
